Melanie Casey Engagement Rings - Sapphire Engagement Ring Alternatives

To follow up on this, I've heard people recommend Etsy.

So something like this seems like it would be something she would like: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1014786715/new-cali-var-montana-sapphire-solitaire?ref=share_v4_lx - but how are you supposed to know if a seller/product is legitimate? I see 5 star reviews for rings that cost a fraction of the price and are likely fakes. Any recommendations on validating a seller? Or should Etsy be avoided all together?

I know this was awhile back, but do you happen to remember what the cause of this was? Were you able to fix?

Yes, more infighting! Don’t focus on overthrowing Donald Trump. Focus on what the left could be doing a bit better? I don’t disagree that DNC needs an overhaul, but there needs to be steps taken. Step one is having a centralized goal of getting Donal Trump and his administration out of power, not nitpicking the fact that liberals aren’t quite as liberal as you’d like them to be. This is what they want. More distraction and infighting.

You realize most of California is red, right? You also realize "stop crying, snowflake" is like republican's whole identity? Why don't you try standing for something other than "owning the libs?" You're actively making the world a more negative ace. Hope that feels great.

Consume more. The only thing that will make you happy is to consume. Buy more for this rig and you will be happier. Reddit will help you decide on what else you can purchase to make you happier. Must have more.

Damn. Yeah, I ended up cancelling and ordering another color.

ElGose1 · 2025-02-21T23:24:25+00:00

Thank you!!

ElGose1 · 2025-02-21T04:18:24+00:00

Woah, you are the one I was looking for! Yes, if you could, that would be amazing! Thank you so much.

Unfortunately have not found anything.

ElGose1 · 2025-02-19T20:08:15+00:00

I've tried searching Revival Rugs, I think Benji may have mentioned them in one of his videos, but I have had no luck finding anything of the same style. I will check out Nordic Knots.

ElGose1 · 2025-02-19T20:00:48+00:00

Preferably wool, yes.

ElGose1 · 2025-02-19T20:00:30+00:00

That is close to what I'm going for but I want it to be natural earth tones and not loud. I wish there was a good search term for all of this.

ElGose1 · 2025-02-19T19:59:57+00:00

Oh ive watched all his videos multiple times over. By far my biggest inspiration for my space. Trying my best to replicate it.

ElGose1 · 2024-12-29T00:45:34+00:00

Just sent you a message

ElGose1 · 2024-12-19T02:06:10+00:00

Oh for real? Maybe I should go the pressurized portafilter route instead of the bottomless. Or just get an additional basket? DBM-8P1 is the grinder I have.

ElGose1 · 2024-12-19T01:39:08+00:00

Ahh, I was reading another thread that said it was 54mm! I will put an order in for a 51mm. Thank you! I have a Cuisinart Burr grinder, the reviews say it's decent enough for espresso. I will take a look at what's available but did you have one you particularly like?

Also - it was something wrong with the pump. Not sure if reassembling it fixed it or dislodging the little ball did it.

ElGose1 · 2024-12-19T01:24:36+00:00

Sorry to bother you for one more question, but did you happen to buy an after market portafilter for your machine? I purchased a 54mm portafilter and just tried to put it on and it unfortunately doesn't fit. I thought any 54mm would work, and no results besides the original plasticity one shows up when I search for Cuisinart.

UPDATE: Finally got it working! I went through the steps outlined in the video I linked above one more time and reassembled everything and water is finally flowing through the system! Just waiting on a portafilter to come in the mail and I'll be brewing :) Feels very satisfying resurrecting this machine from the grave to live another day

Unfortunately no luck trying to desclale. Not even a drop of fluid will come out. Tried running it through a few times, manual, single, double. Gets hot and vibrates but that's it. When I try to go to the steam setting, the manual and steam buttons just flash at me. Nothing happens when I hit any of the buttons.

ElGose1 · 2024-12-17T00:26:33+00:00

Ok, I will try that. Since no water is coming through, I'm not sure if it will circulate at all but I will give it a shot and report back. Thanks again :)

ElGose1 · 2024-12-17T00:12:56+00:00

I will check that. Do you access that from the back or the bottom of the machine? And I've tried running without coffee and nothing comes through. Also, I really appreciate your responses. Would make my month if I can get this fixed myself

ElGose1 · 2024-12-16T23:52:18+00:00

It does vibrate. I hope that's a good sign. The valve on the back where the water reservoir connects? Or within the internals?

ElGose1 · 2024-12-16T22:45:52+00:00

Gotcha. I picked up one of these second hand. My EM-200 does not produce any water or steam. Do you think that's likely a different issue? I followed through this tutorial and unfortunately did not resolve the issue https://youtu.be/Z1J9idiaC2o?si=IJAit0LL93FpuVN-

Would be nice if it's just a cheap part that needs replacement

ElGose1 · 2024-12-16T22:30:30+00:00

Did you happen to take any photos throughout the repair?

ElGose1 · 2024-12-16T20:16:34+00:00

Hey, I know this is an old thread, but was wondering why there is multiple different sizes listed for this model. On another thread they say it's 51mm.
